Wanted to try out a new stitch and ending up making a cowl instead. Fun, crocheted, top is the narrow end. Red Heart yarn and a g hook. Took almost a whole super saver skein. This was a flat crochet stitch, but I changed the stitch so that I could do it in the round.

These are covers for my sewing machines, I measured the width, height, and length of each machine. On the smaller one I used a cotton lining on the inside of it, on the larger one I put pockets on the ends for chords and things like that. These were fun and easy to make. Dust covers for the sewing machine
I needed some new dishcloths so I made a few and will do a couple more, this is my own pattern, had fun doing them, I don't know why this will not let me post them side by side, lol. These are made using cotton yarn from Peaches and Creme, and a G or 4mm hook. I will be making a pattern of the month out of it.
